Apollo Tyres Ltd is an international tyre manufacturer and the leading tyre brand in India. The company has multiple manufacturing units in India and a unit each in the Netherlands and Hungary. The company markets its products under its two global brands – Apollo and Vredestein, and its products are available in over 100 countries through a vast network of branded, exclusive and multi-product outlets.

The Compound Development Department of the Research & Development Center is responsible for the design, validation, and implementation of tyre compounds that deliver innovative solutions and optimized performance.

Join our R&D team to develop AI/ML and data-driven models that predict how curatives (reactive ingredients responsible for vulcanization) influence compound properties and tyre performance. You will work with laboratory-generated data to develop a versatile predictive model that links the type and concentration of curatives to the behaviour of compounds and tyre products.

• Review and clean the available data
• Develop an AI/ML model to predict the impact of curatives on the properties of tyre compounds and their relationship with tyre performance
• Prepare a final report, transfer the model for use by R&D specialists, and present and discuss the results with the Compound Development Department team

• Bachelor's or Master's student in Computer Science, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence, Business Information Technology, or a related field
• Very good command of English, both spoken and written
• Experience with Python, machine learning/artificial intelligence, and data science
• A team player with strong communication skills, a results-oriented mindset, and the ability to learn quickly
